October 4, 2014 - John Arnold kicks game winner over Murray State"As John Arnold nailed the third of his field goals — the final
one in overtime for a 30-27 victory — Tech found a way to do something
it hadn’t done since August 28. Win.... After Murray State kicker Carson Greifenkamp missed his field goal
try in the first series of overtime, the Golden Eagles got to the
two-yard line before Arnold got his try. The Racers tried to ice Arnold, but the redshirt freshman out of Father Ryan in Nashville wasn’t worried. 'The only thing I was thinking was get more repetitions,' Arnold
said. 'Get more tries at swinging at it from that distance, more looks
at it and just do what I do'.... It was a redemption situation for Arnold. 'He missed a field goal at Tennessee State that would have tied that
game,' coach Brown said. 'He hit two big ones after he had tasted the
negative.' Arnold said, 'There was a lot of pressure, but my teammates put me in
the spot. They came up to me on the sidelines and would pump me up and
get me focused. When I went out there, I didn’t have any more pressure
on me because they got me calm-headed and smooth. Marty Jones, you can
look into his eyes and he just radiates calmness and it just helped me
settle down there'." - Herald Citizen
